My dad was a DA for many years. He says he tried to treat everyone he dealt with like a human being, with a certain level of dignity and respect, no matter what they may have done. He did his job to the best of his ability, but he didn't take it personally, and because of that, the people he was prosecuting usually didn't take it personally.
